Shaquille O\u2019Neal\u00a0recently made a statement that has fans doubting his loyalty to his favorite player Stephen Curry. While appearing on his show,\u00a0\u2018The Big Podcast with Shaq\u2019<\/em>, O\u2019Neal was asked to pick one current player to pair alongside himself during his prime. He was quick with his answer, shouting the name\u00a0\u201cAnthony Edwards\u201d<\/em>, giving the Timberwolves star props for his playstyle and tenacity.<\/p>\n

\"Shaquille<\/p>\n

Shaq-Fu had the following to say about his pick after he chose Ant-Man over Curry,<\/p>\n

\u201cAnthony Edwards, \u2019cause he is a dawg\u2026The way he plays, he plays the right way. He plays hard and he plays with tenacity.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Shaq seemed confident in his selection, as he even analyzed himself and Edwards playing against defensive stoppers like Victor Wembanyama. He further justified his selection, and talked about how Edwards and he would play off each other,<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I get tired of posting you up and busting your a**\u2026I\u2019ll step out and I\u2019ll bring Victor Wembanyama out with his long self and pause, and I\u2019ll just dumb it down to Anthony Edwards.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A pick-and-roll action with Anthony Edwards and Shaquille O\u2019Neal would be truly devastating. Edwards should benefit from O\u2019Neal pulling the center out of the lane. Teams have been mostly helpless while trying to guard Edwards on an island, especially without any help from defense, or a center like Gobert clogging the lane and defending the rim. Aside from that, the duo can also operate off isolation plays, as Edwards and O\u2019Neal can both be open if the defense chooses to double or blitz either player.<\/p>\n

Shaquille O\u2019Neal\u2019s new favorite<\/h2>\n

Shaquille O\u2019Neal or\u00a0\u2018The Black Stephen Curry\u2019<\/em>\u00a0as he calls himself, is a\u00a0huge Curry fan. Even though he has put Curry over himself in the All-time Greatest list, Shaq is still not ready to pick the 35-year-old over the 22-year-old Edwards.<\/p>\n

The Wolves guard seems to be Shaq\u2019s new\u00a0\u201cfavorite\u201d<\/em>, as he seems to have grown protective towards Edwards. Just this month, O\u2019Neal shut down all comparisons between Jordan and Edwards while\u00a0appearing on his show, telling his co-host Adam Lefkoe,<\/p>\n

\u201cForget MJ. He needs to be Ant-Edwards. And I\u2019m not telling him how to think but when I was coming in, especially a guy they used to tell wasn\u2019t good enough. But I tell them, they start comparing names, I was like, \u2018F**k everybody.\u2019 You going to know my name. So, no disrespect to Kareem and Wilt and Bill but I don\u2019t want to hear them names.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It seems the big fella has put aside his earlier take on keeping\u00a0Chef Curry in the GOAT\u00a0debate. Edwards has taken center stage with his recent performances in the league, even posting a career-high 51 points against the Wizards on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

With his ascension to superstar status, the comparisons with other greats such as Michael Jordan will definitely continue. While he hasn\u2019t won any silverware yet, the Timberwolves are definitely in a great place to win it all, as even Karl-Anthony Towns is rumored to return before the playoffs begin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
